Bill Heugel and Don McMurry wanted to fish Sabine lake on the fly today and what a day it was. The birds worked early on this morning but most were small school fish. We did manage one keeper. As the sun rose the birds scattered so we moved to the Louisiana shore line to get out of the wind and maybe catch a Flounder on the fly rod. The water clarity was horrible over there and we only had one hook up but it got off before we got a look, Bill felt it was a flounder. As the day progressed the fish hadn't turned on for us yet . We ran back across the lake and fished the North revetment wall of Pleasure island and found a few birds working in the area. We found some small trout under them along with a few keepers. Bill had a silver rattle rouser on and seemed to do better than Don's shrimp/ shad pattern. This was the program for the rest of the day. Look for Gulls working and stay in the area even when the Gulls had left and that's what they did. As soon as we would get within casting distance the Gulls would leave but the Trout would still be there. Near the end of the day around 3:00pm. we worked a few Gulls and connected with some beautifully colored Red fish. several were just under sized but Bill hooked up with a nice slot Red that was 24-3/4 inches long and weighed 4-3/4 lb. It was a good fight on the fly rod. We called it a day around 4:30pm and headed home with 9 keeper trout and one slot Red. I estimate we caught 25 Trout today but 98% of them were under sized, even though it was loads of fun on the fly rods. We Will fish Bessie Heights tomorrow and hope the wind is a s calm as it was this afternoon. Tight lines, Mike http://rectorsguideservice.com/
